I went back to Malaysia | George Town | Vlog 169

Welcome back to Malaysia. It’s been almost five months since I left this country and travelled to Singapore. So much has happened since then. After Singapore, I went to Australia and started a road trip along the west coast. I also explored the east coast from north to south before flying out to Jakarta. From there, I travelled through Java, Bali, and Sumatra. The last time I was here, I planned to return to Belgium by September.

This time, I’m back because I’m flying to Melbourne from Kuala Lumpur in less than two weeks. My plans for Australia? I’ll be living and working there for a year. What happens after that is still a mystery — both for you and for me. But right now, I’m just excited to be back and to start in a place I’ve never visited before. Welcome to George Town in Penang.

George Town

As happy as I am to be back, it all started with a night flight — and I’m really not a fan of those. I probably wouldn’t do it again if it weren’t for the cheaper ticket and the time it saved me. Still, I made it here, dropped off my backpack, had breakfast, and went out to explore.

My first day in George Town was all about doing what I love most — exploring like a true traveller. I started with the central area of the city, trying to see as much as possible in one day. Penang has plenty of nature to offer, but since I have two more days, I began with the city itself.

Although I often talk about itineraries and my videos might make it look like I’ve planned everything, days like this are different. I simply follow my instincts, wandering through side streets, markets, and old buildings along the way. That’s it — my first day in George Town was just about walking around, soaking up the atmosphere, and letting the city surprise me.

However, my desire to explore the world led me to embark on a five-year journey across different countries. Eventually, I returned home with a newfound appreciation for life and a rekindled passion for music. This website reflects the various chapters and experiences that have shaped me into who I am today.
